Complete waste of time. If I had used a credit I would have been pissed

UGH.... ANOTHER WASTED CREDIT

Revisado: 05-25-21

I love JOE R LANSDALE's work but yet again, great writing is being completely ruined by the extremely poor narration by JD JACKSON. Mr Jackson's monotone voice, with very little difference in inflection, make following the story line very difficult to follow at times. If you have listened to the other books in this series and are used to the flawless narration of PHIL GIGANTE, I suspect that you, like me, will be very disappointed in this one. You might consider the print version. NOTE: The same can be said for "DEVIL RED"

DO NO WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY

Revisado: 10-27-20

Up to this point, I have loved all of Joe R Lansdale's books and I am sure that I will love this one as soon as I get a printed version and read if for myself. In all his previous books in the HAP & LEONARD series have been read by PHIL GIGANTE who always does a fantastic job. I have over 300 Audible books in my library and I believe that this narrator, JD Jackson, is by far the worst of any I have heard.... to the point that I don't think I can force myself to sit through the entire book.

WOW

Revisado: 09-28-18

Very insightful reporting from Bob Woodward into the happenings in DC over the past couple years. If it were written by anyone else, I might assume that it was a smear campaign against Trump but Trump, and his own actions, are his worst enemy. In short this book would be funny if it weren't so damned scary - certainly a case of truth being stranger than fiction. There is a saying here in the South that comers to mind, "You can't make this kind of sh#t up!"

A MUST READ

Revisado: 02-18-18

Where does Promise Me, Dad rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

... one of the best pieces of non-fiction I have read

Any additional comments?

This is a beautiful, touching insight to a beautiful family dealing with the loss of a son/brother/father/friend behind the public Washington DC view. I have a whole new respect for Mr Biden (and his former boss!)

I TRIED... I HONESTLY TRIED...

Revisado: 06-27-16

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I TRIED... I HONESTLY TRIED... to get through this book, but I just couldn't. Perhaps the printed version of the book would have been better.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The initial idea of the book is interesting but that interest quickly fizzled out.

How could the performance have been better?

This narrator should never, EVER attempt male voices. All male voices seemed to have the same speech impediment and were basically the same poor attempt. I think this is only the second time I have ever had to just quit a book because of the narrator

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

None at all

FANTASTIC JOB!!

Revisado: 12-12-15

For those of you who are fans of Stieg Larsson and the "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" series, I highly HIGHLY suggest that you pick up David Lagercrantz's "The Girl In The Spiders Web" - a fabulously written continuation of the Lisbeth Salander story

What a waste

What disappointed you about Taken in Death?

I cannot believe that this is from the "pen" of Nora Roberts. Poor storyline and even worse narration.

Would you be willing to try another one of Susan Ericksen’s performances?

NO.... NEVER!!! Listening to her narration made an already bad book almost painful to listen to

Farewell Ms Madrigal

Revisado: 02-22-14

Where does The Days of Anna Madrigal rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

All good things must come to an end and Armistead Maupin has done a beautiful job with this "Tales" bittersweet finale.

Would you be willing to try another one of Kate Mulgrew’s performances?

The one downside to this book was the narrator. I will be ordering the print version of this book just to read it without having to listen to her voice.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The last chapter (and specifically the last 5 minutes) made me a little misty-eyed.

Any additional comments?

I am anxiously awaiting the next book from Maupin.
